Frequently Asked Questions

How are you getting resources into Gaza?

We are collaborating with other dedicated NGOs to ensure the efficient purchase and delivery of essential resources within Gaza. By pooling our expertise, networks, and resources, we can provide critical aid such as food, water, medical supplies, and shelter to those most in need. These partnerships enable us to navigate logistical challenges, maximize impact, and ensure that humanitarian efforts reach communities swiftly and effectively.

How do you keep track of where the money goes?

We maintain full transparency and accountability in our financial processes. For every project, we begin by carefully estimating costs to ensure responsible planning. Once the project is executed, we meticulously track all expenses, keeping detailed receipts for every purchase. Funds are then transferred based strictly on what was spent, ensuring that every dollar is accounted for and used efficiently. This rigorous process not only builds trust with our donors but also ensures that resources are utilized effectively to maximize the impact of our initiative.

How much of my donation goes to Gaza?

100% of all donations goes to Gaza. When we run separate campaigns (ie, Gifting your Donations, Greetings Cards) or host stand-alone events, a portion of the proceeds go towards the costs—all profit from these campaigns and events go to Gaza. Thanks to the generosity of our local community, many of our expenses (such as food and venue) are often covered, allowing us to keep our operational costs as low as possible.

Everyone involved with the One Body Initiative is a dedicated volunteer. We do not receive any compensation for our time and efforts.
